SOG Bowie.I'm looking for user oponions

I was reading somewhere that it almost has a case hardened effect ( probably not proper term). The inside is softer than the surface making it very , very tough, in addition to the thick stock, and reinforced tip. That knife could easily last a few lifetimes of hard use with basic care. I love the old Seki made Sog carbon steel knives. My SK5 Tigershark is one of the knives that I've never even entertained the idea of selling or trading it away.

The new one is very well made. The grinds are superb, finish excellent on mine. I just balk at the idea of a heavy duty knife made of 8A.

I'm sure it will hold up very well, but the new one just wasn't for me. Joe

I'm thinking on getting a new Super Bowie...are the new ones as thick as the old ones?

I'm interested in a carbon steel one.The stainless one if I really have to.Great pics guys.
Also,Cold Steel makes a SOG-style knife.Has anyone had any hands on with it?

The one with the synthetic handle? Never worked it hard but it feels a LOT lighter than the SOG. It's not as thick, and it's a different steel type.
